Hello. My son is diagnosed with scabies

Hello. My son is diagnosed with scabies and and was prescribed among other medicines with HHMITE Cream which was to be applied once a week. Though symptoms have reduced substantially but itching continues in feet and sores are also there which is problematic. Can we apply cream daily once as it seems to have quick relief. Hope there are no side effects. Pls enlighten.
